Applications Information (Continued)

elapsed, CS may be idled either high or low until the next

conversion. If CS is idled low, it must be brought high again

before the start of the next conversion, which begins when

CS is again brought low.

After sixteen SCLK cycles, SDATA returns to TRI-STATE.

Another conversion may be started, after tQUIET has

elapsed, by bringing CS low again.

7.2 Shutdown Mode

Shutdown mode is appropriate for applications that either do

not sample continuously, or it is acceptable to trade through-

put for power consumption. When the ADC101S051 is in

shutdown mode, all of the analog circuitry is turned off.

To enter shutdown mode, a conversion must be interrupted

by bringing CS high anytime between the second and tenth

falling edges of SCLK, as shown in Figure 8. Once CS has

been brought high in this manner, the device will enter

shutdown mode, the current conversion will be aborted and

SDATA will enter TRI-STATE. If CS is brought high before the

second falling edge of SCLK, the device will not change

mode; this is to avoid accidentally changing mode as a result

of noise on the CS line.

To exit shutdown mode, bring CS back low. Upon bringing

CS low, the ADC101S051 will begin powering up (power-up

time is specified in the Timing Specifications table). This

power-up delay results in the first conversion result being

unusable. The second conversion performed after power-up,

however, is valid, as shown in Figure 9.

If CS is brought back high before the 10th falling edge of

SCLK, the device will return to shutdown mode. This is done

to avoid accidentally entering normal mode as a result of

noise on the CS line. To exit shutdown mode and remain in

normal mode, CS must be kept low until after the 10th falling

edge of SCLK. The ADC101S051 will be fully powered-up

after 16 SCLK cycles.

8.0 POWER MANAGEMENT

The ADC101S051 takes time to power-up, either after first

applying VA, or after returning to normal mode from shut-

down mode. This corresponds to one "dummy" conversion

for any SCLK frequency within the specifications in this

document. After this first dummy conversion, the

ADC101S051 will perform conversions properly. Note that

the tQUIET time must still be included between the first

dummy conversion and the second valid conversion.

When the VA supply is first applied, the ADC101S051 may

power up in either of the two modes: normal or shutdown. As

such, one dummy conversion should be performed after

start-up, as described in the previous paragraph. The part

may then be placed into either normal mode or the shutdown

mode, as described in Sections 7.1 and 7.2.

When the ADC101S051 is operated continuously in normal

mode, the maximum throughput is fSCLK / 20. Throughput

may be traded for power consumption by running fSCLK at its

maximum specified rate and performing fewer conversions

per unit time, raising the ADC101S051 CS line after the 10th

and before the 15th fall of SCLK between conversions. A plot

of typical power consumption versus throughput is shown in

the Typical Performance Curves section. To calculate the

power consumption for a given throughput, multiply the frac-

tion of time spent in the normal mode by the normal mode

power consumption and add the fraction of time spent in

shutdown mode multiplied by the shutdown mode power

consumption. Note that the curve of power consumption vs.

throughput is essentially linear. This is because the power

consumption in the shutdown mode is so small that it can be

ignored for all practical purposes.
